Black Arrow

Tooltip

Curses an enemy, inflicting periodic Shadow damage over 1 min. If the target dies while afflicted by Black Arrow, 2 Skeletons will be summoned from the target's corpse.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 200 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 5 sec, 12 times over the full 1 min (2400 base in total).

What it does

Black Arrow is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 5 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
